It's a private, lushly landscaped retreat in one of the loveliest historic neighborhoods in San Marcos. You're within walking distance to downtown restaurants, shopping, Texas State, and the beautiful San Marcos River. And you're just a short drive to the outlet malls, New Braunfels, Gruene and Wimberley.
The casita has its own private entrance. You'll have access to the backyard patio, hammock and fountain. And you can check in anytime after 3 p.m. -- we're flexible!
WE'RE HERE FOR YOU
We tend to lay low to give our guests their privacy. But we live on the property, so don't be shy if you need anything!
SO ARE CATS (PROBABLY)
For those with cat allergies: Though the casita has no resident cats, our neighborhood is home to many friendly felines who are known to show up in the backyard for some impromptu petting. They're cats; that's what they do. So if your allergy is severe, this could limit your time out on the patio. Please consider this before booking the casita.

People say that San Marcos is like Austin was in the '70s: laid back, friendly and fun. And you'll be staying on the old stagecoach route that once connected Austin and San Antonio -- you'll even see hitching rails up and down the street! It's a beautiful area.
We're a half mile from downtown, 3 minutes by car from the river, and less than 10 minutes by car from the San Marcos Outlets. The Texas State University campus is a 20-minute walk. You can also grab a bus to campus or even the outlets. It's a small town--nothing's too far away!
TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. We're happy to provide tips on local shopping and dining, river excursions, hikes/runs/walks -- you name it!
WI-FI, BLUETOOTH -- BUT NO TV. Please be aware that the casita does not have a TV, though our fast, free Wi-Fi and wireless Bluetooth speaker make it easy for you to enjoy movies, shows and other content right from your favorite device. (Many guests have actually thanked us for keeping the casita TV-free, saying it creates a "lake cottage" environment that encourages them to enjoy reading, napping, music, our hammock and the patio.)
KIDS ARE WELCOME at Casita de Milagros! We happen to think children are both awesome and necessary, so they're absolutely welcome here at the casita. Children 2 and under stay free at the casita. In fact, we have a Pack 'n Play portable crib available at no extra charge should you need one. For older kids, we'll make up our comfy Aerobed, complete with linens, for $10 a night. Please let us know when you book if you plan on bringing your kiddos, along with their ages, so we can make the appropriate accommodations. (Unfortunately, space limitations prevent us from booking families with more than two kids.)
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT A SECURITY DEPOSIT? We know you would never do anything to harm our sweet casita, even accidentally. But we do list a $200 security deposit just in case the unthinkable happens. Don't worry -- you won't be charged at any point before or during your stay, and you'll never see it appear in your total rate. (In fact, Airbnb shouldn't even call it a security deposit because they don't actually hold your money.) It's listed only if we need to file a claim with Airbnb for damages. Better safe than sorry, right? Learn more here: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/140/how-does-airbnb-handle-security-deposits

Carl & Diane's Casita was even better than described! The location was great and the Casita was so comfortable, clean and really lovely. The private courtyard was perfect and became our favorite place to gather. Carl & Diane have gone above and beyond in the little "extras" provided. We will absolutely stay here again!!

LeslieOctober 2016

Our stay at Casita de Milagros was excellent. From initially meeting Carl and the assistant manager Maisy until the time we left, the casita was perfect for our short stay. The living area was very clean and decorated very nicely by Diane. Ask them about the wallpaper! We took advantage of the lovely hand painted porch (ever seen the bottom of a magic flying carpet?) that evening and had an awesome evening stroll in their quiet historic neighborhood. Carl even provided us with an informal walking guide highlighting the homes on our one mile trek. Although we didn’t get to meet Diane, Carl was very gracious and had recommendations on the local coffee shops, restaurants, and places to just relax. My wife is already planning to book our next stay with wonderful Carl, Diane and Maisy the next time we visit San Marcos!

StevenAugust 2016

Carl&Diane's casita embodies the laid back lifestyle we love about San Marcos. It's completely chill and just a short walk from mostly everything. The space is clean, really well done, and Carl and Diane couldn't have been better hosts. If you're thinking about having a relaxing weekend in San Marcos, you won't find a better spot.

NevadaOctober 2016

This is a five-star guest space hosted by friendly and accommodating folks. The assistant manager happens to be the world’s sweetest dog. What’s not to like?

SamanthaSeptember 2016

Clean, comfortable, inviting... So much better than a hotel. Genuine, gracious, caring hosts. Our visit was great, will definitely be back.

BrianSeptember 2016

CARL and Diane'splace is beautiful, comfortable and clean! They are such a nice couple and welcomed us at the gate with open arms! We highly recommend their place for anyone who is visiting SanMarcos and the nearby hill country. Can't say enough about their guest house!

KayOctober 2016

This is a San Marcos hidden gem! We will be back for a return visit for sure! I went to Texas State so I know the ins and outs of San Marcos and this was hands down an awesome location and space to stay for the night. The casita was very clean and we were provided everything we needed. Thanks so much for a great stay!

DanielleSeptember 2016

Awesome place and very cozy. Offered lots of extra amenities not shown on profile. Will go back again. Great relaxing place and very near Hill Country.

A little one-bedroom apartment located in San Marcos, less than a minute away from Texas State campus, shops and restaurants, 5 minutes away from the river, and just 30 miles south of Austin.

The set up of the apartment makes for a fairly small, cozy space. It's been decorated/arranged toward my own taste, being my place of residence, and as a result may not appeal to everyone (please check pics before booking!). Probably not the best for families looking for a luxury getaway, but ideal for a few friends needing a place to sleep and relax while visiting the town. As one visitor aptly put it "A place for college and young adults, all the necessities with not much glamour".
All areas except for (hopefully) obviously private areas, such as the locked closet and bathroom drawers, are available for guest use.
Will usually be away when space is available for rent, but neighbors are often around and willing to help.

The apartment is incredibly close to the university, HEB, and The Square (downtown San Marcos) which is especially great for going out for food and drinks at night and stumbling home. The river is within a couple minute drive or a pleasant walk away, and the main highway (I-35) is only about 5 min away.
There's some construction that started recently in the lot next door that seems to start somewhat early on weekdays (8-ish AM?) but doesn't seem to be terribly loud.

Aiko was very kind & accommodating. Cozy, private little place...perfect spot for the price to get off the road, enjoy a wonderful hot shower, watch a little movie & recharge & have the whole place to unwind. Currently some heavy construction on weekdays nearby, so no sleeping in, but very restful otherwise. Wak to HEB & all things in San Marcos...the Square...lovely town. Thank you! Aiko could not have been nicer...lovely experience.

Janet EmmaJune 2016

The place was perfect for what I needed, aiko was quick to respond and I had a great time. I highly recommend it to anyone going to San Marcos...

GabrielJune 2016

This place is not for everyone. I really liked the location is very close to the University and the HEB it's at a walking distance. The smell however was really bad and sofocating, every time we entered the apartment we had to open all the windows and the decorations are not to everyone's taste. The cleanliness can be worked on but other than that the energy felt very positive and welcomed. Aiko was very attentive and checked upon us.

MatteoSeptember 2016

It was just the perfect place to stop in San Marcos for a quiet night's sleep after a long day on the road. Thank you Aiko for your hospitality,

This cozy cottage is located 4 miles outside of Wimberley and is just minutes away from breweries, restaurants, shopping and river fun. Relax by your private fire pit or stroll around the property to see the peacocks, ducks, chickens and goats! There is a queen bed in one room and a day bed with trundle in the other. The Lavender cottage is part of The Wildflower Country Inn & Event Center, so guest also have the option to add on services like picnics, breakfast in bed and on-site massages

The kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, dishes, a stove, microwave, fridge and coffee pot. Coffee and Tea are provided by us. The living area has a television with antenna channels and a dvd player. There is no cable or wifi at this time.
We live on property so are there to assist when needed, but try to offer as much privacy as possible to our guests. So, unless additional services are added on (i.e. breakfast in bed) we will see you at check-in and then you are on your own!

Carley's place was amazing. So cozy and inviting. Flowers in the small living area upon arrival. All essentials were in the cabin. We enjoyed the fire pit very much while we watched the stars. Fully cooked Breakfast of the day was additional but I would strongly recommend. Deliver to the door in a lovely straw tray. Amazing

Dianne November 2016

We had a great stay at the Lavender cottage. It's in a great location, easy to get to and close to Wimberley. We spent a day hiking in the Blue Hole area and then walking around in the town square. Then we came back to the cottage, built a fire, and roasted marshmallows. Carley was great. She met us upon arrive and told us a little about the place. We walked all over the property, saw the goats, chickens, peacocks, and ducks. It was a fantastic stay!

AmandaOctober 2016

I really liked the Lavender Cottage. Functional, nicely decorated, and has all the basic amenities. There is even a heat lamp in the bathroom which came in handy on the cold weekend we stayed there. Because the cottage is located amongst other cabins, I felt safe. We didn't plan for the cold front too well, so if I had to do it again, I would bring an extra comforter/blanket or request it ahead of time (we were only there one night and arrived really late.) Carley was very responsive and flexible, accommodating our evening arrival. She even turned the heat on in the cabin for us before we arrived. I would come back for more nights and maybe bring my boys next time so that we can enjoy the fire pit, spend more time looking at the night sky (you can see the stars so clearly from here!) explore more of the grounds, and meet some of the animals!

RheaNovember 2016

Carley was amazing. super responsive and super nice. took care of our every need from birthday cupcakes and wine for my wife to firewood to light the fire to organizing a massage to breakfast in bed. truly amazing beyond five star service

alexOctober 2016

It was a wonderful experience to stay here! So sweet and homey! Carley did a wonderful job communicating directions and made herself available should we have needed anything. The place was all set though with toiletries, coffee and even breakfast items for the next morning! Very nice cozy little place, I'm sure we will stay here again sometime!

Pets are welcome upon approval for a minimal fee and varies per breed and size. They are not allowed to be left alone to roam in the RV or the grounds unattended. To make your stay is trouble free make sure to read the RV manual inside the RV. Enjoy your stay!

The setting is very tranquil with a balance of green fields and trees all around creating total privacy. It is out of the hustle and bustle. Very quiet and private yet easy access to town, the University and the river. Nice covered table and chairs outside your door. BBQ charcoal and gas grill and utensils provided. Queen Mattress bed is deluxe with memory foam on top, Full size hide-a-bed with fairly thick mattress cover. Fridge is stocked with breakfast foods, so sleep in as long as you like and prepare in the full service kitchen. Roomy shower and toilet space and central air and heat. There is a nice, shaded dog kennel near the RV for guest to use for their dogs; it is 5'x10' and very secure.
The RV and front 3 acres are yours to roam. Plenty of parking. build a campfire if desired (Be sure to check with us in case there is a burn ban and we are not allowed to have open fires). BBQ with charcoal or gas grills supplied. There is Wifi at the Nest, depending on your provider whether the service is functioning as some carriers do not get a signal out here.
We like to interact when we aren't busy working. Someone is generally home all the time. We would enjoy a chat at your gazebo if you want the company, otherwise, we will leave you to your own space. The deer roam freely through the wooded acreage; you'll likely see them a couple times a day.

A college town with a population of 50,000. Very popular huge outlet malls are here. Three rivers to play in nearby.
We are in a nice, upscale neighborhood with 6 acre forested lots. Rabbits and hummingbirds and deer are in abundance.
About 7 miles into San Marcos: HEB, Walmart, Movie theatres, bookstores, lots of restaurants, etc. 30 minutes from Austin Airport and 45 minutes from San Antonio airport.
Wimberley is 25 minutes west, New Braunfels (Schlitterbaun, Guadalupe) is 25 minutes south and Austin is just 25 minutes north on I-35. Look for my special pricing on weekdays. Pets must be pre-approved by host, and a fee of about $5/day is charged for extra cleaning required. Be sure to disclose your desire to bring your furry friends.

What impressed us the most was how many extra benefits the hosts provided us with, for such an affordable price. They really went above and beyond with making us feel provided for. The place itself is also quite wonderful, quiet and secluded, and relaxing. Overall, they were helpful and responsive to our needs when we couldn't figure something out, although not so much on a Sunday.

IanJune 2015

the place is very nice. we recived more than we thought. we didnt meat personaly the owner but in the chat they show a lot of good will.

גיאAugust 2015

I had a busy trip and only got to meet Dean briefly. He was a very gracious and responsive host and willing to go the extra mile to meet your needs. Accommodations were very good. Master bed was very comfortable. Will visit here again

RhondaNovember 2014

The trailer was fully stocked! An amazing place to relax and recharge! The hosts were very accommodating to my family!

DanyelleNovember 2014

We had a great time at the nest. Dean and Sandra were so friendly and communicative. Had a little problem with the heat and Dean was right there, just a phone call away and we was there to help us out. The RV was extremely cozy and the surrounding woods made you really feel like you off the grid. Hope to come back soon.

DennisNovember 2015

Dean and Sandra were so nice and very accommodating! The RV was very comfortable and furnished with some "continental" style breakfast items. My girlfriend and I had such a great time here and really enjoyed sitting around the fire pit!! We will definitely be looking into staying there again!!

BrettDecember 2014

Thanks for another perfect stay and for your wonderful hospitality! We appreciate all of your hard work and attention to detail. We enjoyed our time at the RV and look forward to booking with you again soon.

JillJanuary 2015

We had a very nice time staying in the 5th-Wheel-Style Camper. We enjoyed the camper itself; we enjoyed the privacy; we enjoyed meeting and visiting with Dean and Sandra, who seem to be just about as nice as they come. Breakfast is delicious, and delivered via picnic basket to your patio. Dean and Sandra were friendly, kind, and accommodating. In general, a very welcoming place with pleasant hosts and as much privacy as you would like. ( If you prefer complete privacy, there is a Do Not Disturb sign that you can put in the window. ) The chorus of bugs sang us to sleep each night, and we were visited by hummingbirds at the feeder and an orange walking stick. We saw many deer in the surrounding countryside, but none actually visited us at the camper this time. We really can't say enough about Dean and Sandra ( and breakfast! ). These seem to be people of great integrity and compassion, who are also friendly and flexible. We look forward to staying on Dean and Sandra's property again.

Great bang for the buck. Very affordable, yet packed with modern updates and amenities. Close to downtown and campus. I have one cat whom comes inside, but a rabbit and a couple hens out back. Breakfast may be offered in the future for an additional charge. Coffee is free.

The accommodation is for one of two rental bedrooms in a 3 bed/2 bath house. The guest bathroom is in the hall between the rental rooms. The bedroom has a very comfortable queen sized bed with a memory foam mattress topper, a nightstand, and a lamp. You'll have a large closet in the room as well as some extra storage space in the hallway closets. I live in a bedroom on the opposite side of the house.
House amenities include basic cable HDTV, DVD player (works with most DVDs), high-speed wireless internet, fireplace, washer, dryer, cookware and dishes, 5-burner gas stove and digital oven, toaster oven, microwave, blender, crock-pot, french press, cappucino machine, coffee machine, refrigerator w/ filtered drinking water, freezer, touch activated sink, garbage disposal, and dishwasher.
My room, bathroom, and the garage will be locked.
I'm flexible, depending on my schedule. Just ask. I have 1 cat whom spends most his time outside and is very friendly as well as a rabbit, chicken, and duck, whom live in the backyard.

San Marcos is a wonderful small city due to the modern atmosphere and ample green spaces including the spring-fed river which drives tube sales at the local Academy store. Many people start at Sewell Park and float until the engineered rapids by River Pub & Grill where they walk, take a 2nd vehicle, or hop on the Lion's Club tram back to the start. If you prefer a dryer outdoor experience, Purgatory Creek Park is only a mile or two from the house and, like Austin's Greenbelt, has wilderness trails that just keep going.
Downtown San Marcos is only a few miles from the house where, around "The Square", you will find the older buildings of the city hosting various restaurants, clubs, and quarky retailers. There is a Walgreens with a Red Box DVD rental stand only a block away from the house. College Delivery and Favor deliver fairly quickly if you feel like staying indoors.
Uber and Lyft both operate in town. There is a university bus stop within a 5 minute walk. Some people bicycle.
For visits over 2 weeks, a Texas Association of Realtors lease and $390 security deposit may be required.

J T was a great host and very friendly and the room was very comfortable

Joel & JasriJune 2016

JT was quiet and pleasant. Room was bare bones; could use an end table and lights, maybe a few nicer towels in bathroom. Overall we were very satisfied for the short rest we needed.

Ivan 'Z'December 2012

Home was clean and tidy. JT was an excellent host.

ChrisOctober 2016

Our three week stay was great! The place was just as described and JT was a fantastic host. He is super nice and made us feel welcome right away. The trip to the Texas State bus stop was quick and easy, so this place would be great for any visiting students. We would highly recommended a visit. Thanks JT!

BrittanyJuly 2016

Very clean, comfortable and accommodating at a great price. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

DanielJuly 2016

JT's place was exactly what we needed while visiting Austin for a quick two night stay: affordable, reasonably clean, comfortable and a quiet place to sleep. It worked out perfectly for our needs.

Joel & LanaNovember 2012

Truly exceptional scholar and professional gentleman hosts a very clean, comfortable and quiet room and use of kitchen and living spaces. Top line for the value and as advertised.

Albert NoelJune 2016

JT was away when we arrived, so we didn't meet him until the last night we spent in San Marcos. He was very friendly, and his communication before and during our stay were great. He made it easy for us to let ourselves in and out of his place, and his cat is an adorable cuddler. The room itself had plenty of space and the bed was made nicely. There are hangers in a closet with lots of room for all of our clothes. The only issue with the stay was that the bathroom was surprisingly dirty. Otherwise, it's a good location for a value-priced overnight.

My place is close to parks, San Marcos River, Outlet Mall, Austin, San Antonio. You’ll love my place because of the neighborhood is quiet, nice deck and back yard. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

There are two cats that live here so other pets are not allowed.

Staying with Shelley is/has been awesome. She is incredibly friendly, accomodating & fun to talk to! She did not hesitate to accomodate me on such short notice, and has extended her home to me in a most welcoming way! I highly reccomend.

AmberJuly 2016

My boyfriend and I booked a room at Shelley's home last minute, she had it ready to go and we were able to head out immediately. Shelley was a great host. She responded promptly and gave us easy access to her home. The neighborhood was just as described, quiet and very lovely. The spacious bed and quiet home was just what we were looking for after a long drive.

Becky's Guest House was the perfect place to stay while exploring San Marcos and Texas State University! Our hosts left the lights and air conditioner on so that our late arrival would be safe and welcoming. They further left a welcome basket with a sweet treat and bottled water. The accommodations were perfect for us and our soon to be college student. The queen bed was well made and our son slept comfortably on the couch bed in the main room. The guesthouse was large enough for us all to spread out, relax and make plans for our day. The location is beautiful and safe in a newer community about 5 minutes from campus and about 10 minutes from the outlets. Having a washer and dryer in the guest house is a great asset for guests staying a bit longer. I'm sure it won't be our last visit!

CindyJuly 2016

Becky's cottage was just perfect for our stay in San Marcos. It is conveniently located to the hill country, New Braunfels, Gruene, canyon lake, San Antonio and Austin. The apartment is entirely separate from the house and sits over the garage. it has everything you need to spread out and feel comfortable- like home away from home! Becky and Randall were wonderful to communicate with...always accessible via Airbnb text and checked in with us to be sure we had what we needed. Their place is lovely, warm and the neighborhood is cute as can be. We would definitely stay again! Shelly

This was my second time to stay at Becky and Randall's, and the second time was just as fantastic as the first. The apartment is always very clean, easy to access and feels like home. Becky and Randall are extremely accommodating and always check in to ask if I need anything!

AshleeSeptember 2016

Becky and Randall offered a beautiful, clean space that is the perfect getaway if you are looking for a quiet evening. The home offered very nice amenities. Becky and Randal were very courteous and always there if we needed something. One thing I would point out is that they live in a quiet neighborhood so there is a porch curfew of 10 PM or 11 PM on weekends. We had a charming experience and they were even sure to respect if we needed a quiet morning to sleep in before proceeding with yard work.

AmyAugust 2016

Becky and Randall's guest house was the perfect place for a weekend in San Marcos. It was impeccably clean and Becky and Randall were always so hospitable and readily available to answer any questions we had. They gave great recommendations on restaurants near the event we were attending and even gave us a weather update for our weekend. Would definitely stay here again!

Located two blocks from the beautiful, spring-fed San Marcos River, this one bedroom and full bath has everything one could need. It is an efficiency apartment loaded with all the comforts of home and opens to a beautiful zen garden.

If you love the San Marcos River and looking for a little relaxation, this is your place. It is located in a quiet neighborhood 2 blocks from the San Marcos River and a 15 minute walk to the San Marcos Square where there are countless bars, restaurants, and nightlife. The casita is a fully functional apartment. The bathroom is not level to a carpenter but it is super clean with scalding hot water available in the shower.
There is a washer and dryer available for use as well as some tubes if you want to take a lazy float on the San Marcos River. There is a bbq pit here if you want to grill.
I respect people's privacy first and foremost. I'm usually in the backyard so I love a little conversation especially helping those about things to do in the area and the Hill Country.

This is a very convenient location just off I-35. There are plenty of outdoor activities here and in New Braunfels and historic Gruene Hall. The outlet malls are less than 10 minutes away. Austin is 30 minutes north and San Antonio is 45 minutes south. It's a great central location to jump into the Hill Country and the wineries as well.
San Marcos is uber friendly.

This is the second time I have stayed at Steven's Airbnb. The casita was fully furnished, very nice, bed comfortable, nice sheets. The outside patio and backyard is a must for me. Great location. Thank you Steven. Patty

PattyMay 2016

This was our first Airbnb experience which will lead us right back to more as our experience was great. Was really like coming to our own little place and easily felt at home both inside and out in the yard. Place was comfy, ready for us, neighbors were really cool and the area was close to all we needed. Kinda felt like staying at a family members apt and we hope to be back for a visit. If you're in San Marcos then this place will immediately make you feel like part of the city.

ChipMay 2016

Great location! Will definitely look to book here again in the future!

ZacharyNovember 2016

Steven's house was exactly as described. The a/c units might need replacing soon, but the house got cold quick enough for a lovely night in San Marcos. Loved the ambience and decor!

RobinJune 2016

I stayed here with a work colleague for six weeks while working a project at Texas State University. The casita is awesome! It captures the local feel of this region, has a nice yard, and is close to the Square, university and river. Steven did a great job of making us feel at home. I would highly endorse staying here to any future San Marcos visitor.

MatthewNovember 2016

Great small place in a quiet neighborhood. It sits in the heart of San Marcos and is close to everything.

TraceyJune 2016

Steven was extremely accommodating and helpful. For a first time user, I was really impressed with how easy the process was with Steven and he was very timely in his responses. The place is great and it's location is excellent! The bed was super comfortable and the tv and sound system were great!

Great cozy place! Lots of nice photos on the wall and a great outdoor area. I will stay here again on my next San Marcos River float trip. Thanks Steven, I hope we meet next time!

Great for couples. 800 sq ft wide open first floor with a nice stereo (4 speakers & a sub-woofer), "Open" bathroom downstairs w/Claw-foot tub, toilet, sink, washer (no dryer), indoor flower beds (poured 2 separate slabs). Upstairs is a 400 square foot treetop apt with shower, toilet, small kitchen, tall deck overlooking a private forest, and a new 4G Ultra high definition TV & DVD/Blueray player. No additional cleaning fee!
6 heavily wooded acres, claw foot tub, shower, washing machine, Private 6 foot metal stock tank used as my summer soaking pool. Small outdoor fire pit and a separate Bar-B-Q grill. Star gazing anyone? 7 miles from San Marcos river & Court House square.
I'll introduce you to my home, and this mandatory "tour" may take 30 minutes. (Sorry if you arrive tired, but this is my home and I need you to know what's what.) I'll show you all the 3 way light switches, the 3 different remote controls, the Nuwave Elec induction hot plates, the shower exhaust fan, soak tank, the new vs old water controls on the tub, wood burner, etc, and then I interact only if needed and I don't go near the Barn.

`The wildlife, and the fact I'm on a paved, dead end road, 7 miles from San Marcos, the San Marcos river and Texas State University. About 35 miles south of Austin, and 22 miles north of Gruene Hall (New Braunfels). There is a new 844 acre Spring Creek Preserve, on Lime Kiln road about 5 miles before you get to my place.
Your car. (Aloha Taxi is @ 512-392-2222; Americo Express Taxi is @ 512-353 8000)
When I have guests, I sometimes stay in my Airstream, back in the trees, way out of sight. Poor cell phone reception inside the metal building...go outside.

This listing was exactly what we were expecting ! Great place to disappear for a little private time. David was very welcoming, and accommodating ! The place is very open, and was exactly what we needed. I would not hesitate to book this location again !!! Thanks again David !

This is such a unique and beautiful property and home. My father and I thoroughly enjoyed this gem tucked away in the trees, but still very close to the city. Tim (David) gave us plenty of details to help us arrive at the property. He gave us a tour of the home and filled the fridge for us. I can't say how serene and relaxing the atmosphere is. We woke up surrounded by nature, cooked breakfast and watched the birds and squirrels feed from the balcony. We walked around his wooded property. He has a really neat outdoor tub to soak in. He also has a very large collection of oldies and classic rock, which suited the atmosphere perfectly. Very please with this trip and would definitely recommend to others. Thank you!

ChelsyAugust 2016

Tim was such a welcoming and friendly host, with many stories to tell. His barn is a one of a kind experience, a stunning and unique work of art. Loved the huge Windows, sound system, and nature surrounding the cabin. Thank you Tim!

JessAugust 2016

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We did have a good time and it was a nice private area to reminisce on our memories together. There are just a few things that disappointed us... When we arrived we drove through his easement and the trees were very overgrown... And limbs were hanging in the way of the path. My husband and I brought our f150 and unfortunately our paint is scratched up from the trees now :/ David met us and He gave us a tour of his place it was a but overwhelming he kept pointing out everything that was wrong with his house which wasn't necessary. Him taking us on the tour took almost an hour and it was very drawn out. He talked about how his previous guest did this or did that... Which kind of made us wonder why he would even mention what previous guests have done. He told us when were good times to shower/when we shouldn't shower... He had to turn the water heater on while we were standing there and got up on a ladder to do so. We just felt he was extremely unprepared for our stay. Overall we did enjoy our stay. We loved the wildlife and the setting was very peaceful.

AshleyMay 2016

Tim was quick to get in touch once we secured our booking, but unfortunately on our way to the barn, we ran into some unforeseen heavy traffic that set us back about an hour. Tim seemed perturbed, and told us to "hurry up because he had plans." There was nothing we could do to get there any quicker, and this just added to an already stressful drive and seemed to set the tone for the weekend. Our intro to the house was long, and by the time it was over, we were anxious about breaking one of the many rules. The barn was quirky and warm, but Tim had a number of construction projects going on and the pump to the soaking tank was broken. Likewise, there was only one small blanket in the house, and because we had no cell service, we were unable to contact Tim to get another. I ended up using bath towels to keep warm at night. Some positives-- Tim made sure we had breakfast and coffee, and was not imposing after his initial tour of the place. The barn would have been adequate, were we prepared to rough it a bit more, but for what was supposed to be a romantic weekend away, it fell just a bit short.

BarringtonSeptember 2016

Had a wonderful stay. Tim was very helpful and friendly. We had a great time!

SaranyaAugust 2016

The home was gorgeous and as advertised. Our host was very kind and generous. The house was quirky and different and very secluded but close enough to venture out to town. The property was so pretty and we loved the home. It was so nice waking up in all the trees. We saw deer and birds, enjoyed a soak in the stock tank, and explored a bit of the property. we would recommend this location to a friend.

ShelbyJuly 2016

We fell in love with the barn as soon as we saw it, the stay was amazing. His home is so eccentric and has a story behind everything. Loved the location, secluded and private, yet so close to everything. Will definitely be back! Would love to experience all seasons here :)

This is a furnished home with plenty of amenities for use (cable, covered deck, kitchen, office, and pool) in a very quiet neighborhood. An upstairs living-room is available to have a little more space and privacy outside of your room.

Your rental is a one bedroom, 1 queen bed, 1 closet area available for two (2) persons. A full-size bathroom with two sinks is directly next to the bedroom. This is shared between the two rental rooms (if booked) and there is also a 1/2 bath. If this room is showing booked, just go to the second listing to check more availability.
While you are renting this room, I want you to feel at home. Therefore, you will have access to the kitchen, one full bathroom, one half-bathroom, an upstairs living room (privacy is dependent on other renters and home owner, but always available to share), the laundry room with a built in ironing board, full office room, and front and backyard. Crossfit weights are also available upon request.
This is the homeowners actual residence and the homeowners mother or other relatives will be assisting with renters needs. There is currently one other room available for rent on Airbnb.

The Estates of San Marcos is a non-homeowners association neighborhood. There are many deer and other wildlife so adhering to the speed limit is necessary. There are many families that vary in age and the residents often walk, run, or ride bikes.
IH-35 is only 3.1 miles down McCarty Lane. Hunter Rd is the only other major road that intersects with McCarty Lane and it can be used as a back way to the outlets (3.5 miles away), or San Marcos proper which includes Texas State University both between 6 to 6.5 miles away.
This property is protected with a home security system (alarm/video setup for response by HCSO and SMPD). The system will be turned on/off remotely by the homeowner. The exits all have automatic sensors so when someone enters and exits there is a non-annoying double beep.
If you did not make it to a grocery store, the homeowners mother will cook homemade meals for a fee determined by her and upon her availability. She does not live on the property. This is actually very easy to setup by contacting her. See the Guestbook for her information and prices.

Joseph was not home at the time we rented the room, but his mother stopped by to see if we needed anything else, which was a nice touch! The home and neighborhood was lovely and we were very pleased with the experience. We were in awe of the amount of deer we saw at night, too (and turkeys in the morning)! Beautiful home and comfortable bed! Highly recommended.

KellyFebruary 2016

The overall experience was over the top/ went way past my expectations. I had never used Airbnb before this trip but had quite a few friends tell me how it should be. Your house is gorgeous and the hospitality we received was beyond amazing!

NickFebruary 2016

Can't even begin to express how great it was to stay here. Joe is a fantastic host & his place was just great! I hope to be able to stay here again when in San Marcos. Joe made the stay so comfortable and his hospitality was top notch!!

AnnieAugust 2016

This was the most comfortable stay I have ever had out of town. Joseph and his mother made me feel very welcome. We had full access to everything and he even had coffee and snacks available to us. I recommend this wonderful home to everyone!

PreciousMay 2016

Joseph did a great job of letting me know everything I needed to know to make my stay pleasant

Hello, I have 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms available for guests: includes 2 full sized beds and 1 twin sized bed. The home is located next to the blanco river. I have keyless entry and parking.

The home is inhabited by myself, my boyfriend and our two dogs. We are occasionally out of town on weekends, but have keyless entry available for guests at all times. Guests are welcome to share the living room, dining room, backyard and kitchen area during their stay. Coffee is available as well. Guests will have access to 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The space can accommodate 5 people. An added bonus is direct access to the Blanco River via a short walking trail which is connected to the neighborhood. The home is also situated very close to popular River tubing access locations on the San Marcos River. My home is approximately a 30 minute drive to Austin and 45 minutes drive to San Antonio.

Great host! Love the location. Will definitely stay here again.

LaurenNovember 2016

We had a great time staying with Melanie. It was very clean and Melanie was great on communicating.

KartikOctober 2016

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This place was outstanding. The host was hospitable and the location was close enough to the city we could cab it downtown at low cost.

TrevorNovember 2016

Very clean and very conveniently located

DonnyOctober 2016

Great hostesses! We were welcoming and accommodating. The house was clean and has easy access to the town. Also, the beds were comfortable too!

SamanthaOctober 2016

The house was warm and welcoming, even decorated for the upcoming holiday. All rooms and amenities were as described, which was great for our party of four. Melanie was very accommodating and helpful. An overall great experience.

Located within walking distance to Texas State and downtown San Marcos. It is located above "La Casa de Paz", and private with no shared spaces. Perfect for one or 2 people. I'm pet friendly so bring your "beloved" 4 legged friend! I've a 2 night minimum but if you see a space between bookings you can contact me for that one night.

The "Tree House" is an upstairs apartment, located above the "The La Casa de Paz", which is located on a tree lined street, walking distance to downtown San Marcos and Texas State. The entrance to the property is at the back of the house where you can enjoy meals, coffee or a glass of wine on the outside deck which is nestled in a "bamboo forest". The bedroom features a queen size bed and you may awaken to see birds, opossum or a curious cat outside your windows on the many oak tree branches that surround the apartment. The kitchen has everything you need to stay a day or a month! Full tub/shower. Note there is not a washer or dryer but a laundry very close as well as a grocery store. There is a WiFi signal from my apartment below so I do not have a dedicated router for this apartment nor cable TV. TV has Netflix/amazon type access. If full cable TV and a dedicated router are things you must have than please consider booking "La casa de Paz" or "Prospect park place ".
You will have access to the entire upstairs and back yard of the house. Please respect the privacy of those staying downstairs by keeping noise levels down and pets secured.
I'm always available by text or email. I will not be meeting you however and you will have a code to get in/out as you please.

You cannot get closer to Texas State University unless you lived on campus. Downtown is walkable as well.
Once you arrive you can park your car and explore by foot.

Susan place was charming and lovely!

SloanSeptember 2016

The Treehouse was very clean, cozy and quiet. Bed was comfortable and enjoyed watching Netflix in the living room. WIFI was fast too. It's very close to Texas State and good eateries.

GregNovember 2016

This was a wonderful place for a couple to stay. Very clean and quiet. This property is a perfect location for The Square and Tx. State Campus . We will definitely be back.

NoelMarch 2016

Susan's Treehouse Apartment is really nice and centrally located is San Marcos, close to some great places to eat and a supermarket. It has off-street parking right in front of the house. The apartment was fresh and clean, and even though I unexpectedly arrived a little early both Susan and her cleaner were very accommodating and welcoming.

Hayley & AngusApril 2016

Sneak around back and you'll find yourself climbing the stairs of a treehouse the Swiss Family Robison would be proud of. Once inside, we found ourselves two bottles of wine and enough snacks to get us through any of Stevie Ray Vaughan's notorious floods. This quaint home in the heart of San Marcos comes highly recommended and will make any guest feel right at home. We look forward to our next stay with this fantastic host. Thanks so much Sue.

WilliamFebruary 2016

The Treehouse is a delightful space. While not an actual treehouse, the very wooded lot gave us almost complete privacy and a leafy green view from every window. Even though it is a very quick walk to the busy older section of San Marcos, it feels secluded and cozy. But in just a few minutes walk, you are at one of the many fantastic places to visit in town, including an old favorite - discovered years ago -Tantra Coffee House and a new must-visit, Palmer's Restaurant. Each is just a short walk away. We did manage to get a little lost on the way (it IS tucked away), but Sue graciously and patiently directed us over the phone. Very responsive, and quite nice.

ToddOctober 2016

We had such a wonderful stay! The place was exactly as described and we had everything we needed to make dinner in the kitchen for ourselves. The bed was incredibly comfortable (yay) and the place itself was beyond adorable. Being able to walk to breakfast down the street at Jo's was a bonus. The place is convenient to both downtown and Texas State's campus. If we are ever back in the area we will be sure to stay again!

LaurenOctober 2016

We ran into Susan briefly as we arrived and she was very kind and welcoming. The Treehouse was stocked with little snacks and candies that my boyfriend managed to find pretty quickly. The entire apartment felt cozy and this is no doubt due to Susan'a touch! Great stay!

This is where we get to tap into our-inner pioneer;-)

Angie and Matt had the most beautiful home, and it was absolutely perfect for our 5 year anniversary! The pictures online don't even do it justice... the house is absolutely stunning and so incredibly relaxing. Thank you so much for having us and hosting us, we actually got engaged at your home-love was in the air!! :) We will definitely be spreading the word and absolutely staying here again in the future.

BeckyAugust 2015

Sink Creek Retreat House was even better than we imagined. My fiancee happened to get a couple days off from work in the middle of the week and we wanted to get away. Angie and Matt responded to our last minute request immediately and were so gracious and helpful. The retreat house was perfect--cozy and clean and had everything we wanted: a hot tub, sauna, and outdoor fire pit. The back deck provided a beautiful view, much-needed peace and quiet, plenty of privacy, and good bird watching. By far, one of my favorite Air B&B experiences. We hope to visit again soon. Thanks again, Angie!

AzitaJanuary 2015

We absolutely loved our second stay at the Sink Creek Retreat and are hoping that it becomes an annual tradition! Angie and Matt are fantastic hosts -- very communicative, generous and just go above and beyond to make sure that the home is equipped with everything a guest could possibly need. We wish we never had to leave!

ClaireSeptember 2016

This is a great place to stay if you want have a homebase for the Wimberley/San Marcos/New Branfels area and is nice and secluded. Angie had cupcakes waiting for us which we can confirm were delicious!

GraceSeptember 2015

We had such a wonderful weekend at Sink Creek! Upon entry to the house we were greeted by soft music playing, fresh flowers and brownies. Angie and Matt were very helpful and provided all the information and accommodations we needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Soaking in the hot tub was a great way to spend the weekend. The bed was super comfortable and the view of the woods from the bedroom window was a fantastic way to wake up each morning. The house is secluded and private, and the interior is filled with wonderful artwork. The property has a great vibe to it. We left feeling happy, rested and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Sink Creek and plan to return for another relaxing weekend in the future.

JoeFebruary 2015

My boyfriend and myself stayed here for his birthday. Upon entering the cabin, we were welcomed with beautiful music, brownies and a lovely birthday message! The place was beautiful and incredibly peaceful. In the mornings, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the birds eat from the bird feeder placed right outside the window and the silly squirrel that comes and goes run around the deck and trees. Our stay was relaxing, peaceful, and not long enough! Only slight warning I'd say is be careful on the gravel road to get to the cabin, bring a car you may not care about so much, we brought a bmw 330i and the gravel road is more than fine, but upon entering the road there is a small mound of rock that scrapes the bottom of your car each time you go over it and there's no way around it. Otherwise, wonderful stay! Thanks Angie & Matt for sharing your wonderful getaway!

BeatrizSeptember 2015

The Sink Creek Retreat House is amazing! My girlfriend and I had the most relaxing weekend ever at the house! Perfect porch, hot tub, fire pit and more kept us super relaxed and gave us the best weekend ever! Angie and Matt have built the perfect Hill Country getaway and we hope to make it back soon!

ChrisFebruary 2015

Angie and Matt could not have done a better job making us feel comfortable! A friend and I stayed for two weeks in their beautiful, sweet space while we attended a yoga teacher training, and it was perfect for us. Angie and Matt were always available should we have needed anything, and they went above and beyond to provide for us. We will most definitely be back.

AnneAugust 2016

This cottage was such a cute place to stay and Margaret had it stocked with coffee, tea and some snacks which was a nice bonus. It felt very clean and private. I would definitely recommend staying here, and I would stay here again.

DenaJune 2016

The cottage is soooo cute, charming & peaceful! It was very clean. I loved all the natural lighting & soft colors & art work! Margret provided a little breakfast & snacks. Her garden is beautiful. The cottage is behind the house.

ChristieMay 2016

The Cottage on Olive was prefect. The cottage is very clean with lots of natural light and a comfortable bed. Margaret was a wonderful host who provided coffee, tea and breakfast in the morning. Great location.

CourtneyApril 2016

This cottage is perfect! We had such a great time at this clean, quiet and perfectly appointed getaway. We stayed in San Marcos and were easily able to get to Gruene, New Braunfels and Canyon Lake—everything we wanted to do. Margaret is a thoughtful and friendly host, providing yogurt, coffee, bread and jam for convenient breakfast before starting the day.

MeganAugust 2016

Margaret was a wonderful host and the space was perfect for us. She made certain our stay was relaxing, plus she shared many local tips and events for things we'd enjoy in San Marcos. The bed was very comfortable and the living space was ideally situated and decorated. The outdoor space around the property was peaceful and very well maintained. Sitting by the pond was a great way to end a day. Inside the cottage was the perfect temperature and it had everything you'd want: microwave, mini-fridge, wifi, clean towels, dishes, coffee and lots of daylight when you wanted it. We had a wonderful time in San Marcos and are so happy we chose to stay at Margaret's cottage.

JasonJune 2016

Had a great time! Beautiful patio area and great one bedroom. The coffee and breakfast was a added bonus! Highly recommend-- close to Wimberley as well as downtown San Marcos and the premium outlets.

Stay in our renovated vintage 1978 Airstream Argosy! Camp in style on 16 acres with access to trails, pool and 30ft yurt. Relax and enjoy a unique experience at Dharma Ranch retreat center all within 5 miles of San Marcos.

****** PLEASE READ HOUSE RULES BEFORE BOOKING ******
For a few years during the 1970’s, Airstream created the Argosy trailer which was unlike the Airstream’s usual metallic exterior appearance. Though essentially the same design, the Argosy would often be defined for being painted on the outside. This rare Airstream has been restored, though it still has the integrity of the 1978 trailer. Bamboo flooring, updated bathroom with new toilet, hot plate stove, fridge, pull out dining table, comfy queen sized memory foam bed, A/C & heat, TV (dvd's only) outdoor deck with brand new barbecue grill. A short walk to the modern outdoor but enclosed bathroom to shower.
There is also a very Tiny House that is occasionally occupied about 200 ft. away with a privacy fence in-between both places. Tiny House guests will share the shower building with you during your stay. If you have any questions regarding the set up, please ask!
Coffee, tea and breakfast cereal provided. Please bring food for other meals.
No internet provided though we do get great cell service if you have AT&T or Verizon.
Dharma Ranch sits on 10 acres just 5 miles from downtown San Marcos. Access to a pool, large yurt ( awesome energy to do yoga or relax ) outdoor bathroom/shower, walking trails, hammock, outdoor sitting areas, picnic table, parking spot and personal propane barbecue grill to use.
We live in the main house and if home, will be available when needed.
We give our guests privacy.

On our dead end road there are over 15 + artists/musicians who call Valley View West their home. This is an intentional community where people have their own land to make furniture, sculpt with clay/wood, throw pottery, work in found objects and play music. Dharma Ranch brings the body, mind, and spirit side to the community. Our hood is creative and open minded.
We are located 35 miles from downtown Austin, 50 from San Antonio, 18 from Wimberley and 6 miles from downtown San Marcos and Texas State University. Circuit of the Americas is 36 miles away and San Marcos Outlets 10 miles.
You'll have to have a car and the nearest gas station is 4 miles away.
*** IMPORTANT ***
We also have a Tiny House that people stay in via referral and will soon be listed on AirBnB, so you may or may not encounter other guests at the pool or yurt during your stay. Please respect other people's space and privacy.
We are a small retreat center and your stay may fall on a night when we have a meditation class or workshop of some sort in the yurt. There’s activity here at Dharma Ranch, whether its people coming for classes, Tiny House guests or land/retreat maintenance. We do our best to create an environment of calm, quiet and peacefulness while these activities may be happening and encourage our guests to also be mindful of noise.
The Airstream is far away enough where any activity in the yurt shouldn't bother you. Guests are welcome to join us!

I had a wonderfully peaceful time at Kelli & Susan's. I was looking for a few days to be away in nature, somewhere that was quiet and comfy, and that's exactly what I got. Kelli & Susan were both very friendly and welcoming, but also allowed me the lovely opportunity to be alone to write and daydream. It was wonderful to have privacy, but also know that they were available should I need anything. The airstream and facilities were perfect...simple, designed nicely, and clean. The yurt and pool were lovely bonuses. Thank you!! I hope to be back!

BeckyAugust 2016

The airstream was perfect and staying at Dharma Ranch was sublime. The hosts are friendly and helpful but gave us total privacy. We slept great on the comfortable bed and the airstream had everything we needed. The swimming pool is up on a hill with an amazing view. There was a hot shower in the nearby bath house with a cute design and all the comforts of a fancy hotel. It was so nice to wake up surrounded by trees and beautiful wildflowers. Only wish was that we could have stayed longer.

KateMay 2016

We loved staying in the Airstream it was cozy, clean and comfortable. Kelli was great and considerate of making sure we had what we needed to have a nice stay.

MariaJuly 2016

This was a tranquil and relaxing experience. It was so nice to be out of the hustle of the city, and be able to take in the experience that Kelli and Susan have created for their guests to enjoy. The description was on point, the property is so lovely, and all the detail was tremendous, they really did think of everything you would need to enjoy the stay! It was also so very clean, I remember mentioning that there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere, and how everything smelt so good. The ever so Comfortablw bed and great pillows, delishous breakfast!! I can't wait to schedule our next stay at Dharma ranch!

AmberJune 2016

Kelli and Susan were perfect hosts. Just the right amount of friendly and helpful while allowing guests plenty of privacy. The vintage Airstream is clean and well equipped. Very relaxing setting out in the country, yet only minutes from everything you might need in San Marcos. Beautiful spot to watch the sunset over the Texas hill country. Be sure to get up to watch the wild turkeys that visit in the morning!! We would definitely stay here again.

(EMAIL HIDDEN)November 2016

Great experience! Glamping seems to be the new way to park guests in the middle of nowhere in a rough comfort with the possibility to take a shower somewhere ... It is cheap to hosts and very profitable ... This is not how Kelli and Susan do. Nestled in the magnificient property, the Airstream is super comfortable, fully equipped and beautifully decorated. Modern and spotless bathroom is only a few meters and the toilet in the Airstream itself. We were welcomed in this place full of good vibes with great kindness and we spent a very relaxing night after contemplating the ballet of fireflies from our terrace: perfect!

Great place and wonderful hosts!

We had a great weekend staying here! Some of my favorite things included the pool, the shower room (the shampoo and conditioner provided was amazing!) the soft, fluffy towels, the quiet space and the coffee. We felt comfortable and rested. Thanks for having us!

My place is close to restaurants and dining and nightlife. You’ll love my place because of the location just south of the square in San Marcos. This is a private studio apartment. You are not sharing the apartment, but there are commercial tenants in part of the building. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Brian made it really easy to check in and it was super clean. The location was amazing.

What a wonderful location! If you are looking for a SanMarcos get away you can not beat this place. Brian was an excellent host.

The Young Building is a historic turn-of-the-century building close to the San Marcos town square. It is in walking distance of restaurants, nightlife, grocery store, family-friendly activities, and Texas State University.
Our rooms are large and accomodates up to four people easily. We are kid-friendly and welcome families, couples, or solo adventurers. San Marcos has many of the best aspects of a growing city that still sees itself as a small town.

The Sabinal apartment is a lovely spacious set of rooms. It has its own kitchen with full-size oven, microwave, refrigerator, Keurig, and dish washer. We provide dishes and silverware, pots and pans, and a few snacks. HEB, the local grocery store is across the street and less than half a block walk.
The primary bedroom contains a large four-poster bed that comfortably sleeps two in a California King bed. The second bedroom is only partially screened from the main living area, and has a King bed. If two couples are going to take the space, they will need to be okay with only partial privacy. For a family with two young children this space should meet your needs comfortably.
The bathroom can be accessed from both bedrooms.
There is both cable and WiFi.
A washer, dryer, iron and ironing board are available in the common area outside the apartment.
You'll only be able to access the common area outside your apartment, the apartment itself, and the common laundry room.
We live nearby and will be happy to help with whatever you need.

*This is a second-story apartment

This place is great! The host was helpful and available for any questions

You can't get any closer to the town square than this place! Location, Location, Location. Historic building with cool historic art & photos, modern amenities, Memory Foam Mattresses, snacks & fresh fruit, K-Cups, bottled water, etc. Sharon was really great to deal with from start to finish. She was SUPER attentive. Another successful Airbnb getaway!

ThadNovember 2016

Great location!! The square is super fun and lively. Everything is within walking distance; grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants even a food truck stop. The apartment was clean and the beds were a great size. If you're there to shop the outlets are a short drive away. Sharon was attentive and a great host! Looking forward to coming back.

MarthaNovember 2016

The apartment was perfect for our needs. Sharon was very accommodating to make sure we were comfortable and even left a snack basket and bottled waters for us to enjoy! The old building has a lot of character and is very cool. We definitely recommend staying here and will do so next time we are in town.

The Saint Martiane retreat is a 1943 WW2 bungalow in beautiful San Marcos, Texas. It is walking distance from Texas State University as well as downtown San Marcos. It features a private bedroom and also includes a private screened porch with private entrance, living area, front garden, bathroom and kitchen.
--->Please note that the owner occupies the back half of the bungalow with her own entrance and back garden. (This is NOT the house for you if you want to party and have friends over.)

The Saint Martiane retreat is decorated in an eclectic bohemian style and adheres to William Morris' sage advice of "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."
The WW2 bungalow is surrounded by an organically-tended garden. Guests have access to the front garden as well as private entrance and front porch, living space, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Also, free private parking.
This space is solely designated for the responsible, well-behaved and the happy-hearted. The ideal guest believes in the balance of karma.
If you aren't able to respect my house rules and my home, this is NOT the place for you and a hotel is better suited for your stay in our lovely city.

The beautiful San Marcos river runs through town and an afternoon float is a great experience. If you are of the shopping sort, the San Marcos outlets are minutes away on I-35.

Great bungalow and super cozy place to stay. Dawn was really nice and helpful.

CodySeptember 2016

I literally as lucky enough to snag this listing about 2 days before I headed to San Marcos to see my son off for his Jr. Year at Texas State. Dawn was super at communicating with me prior to my arrival. Her house is darling and the room was perfect! It was a short but super one night stay...I can definitely seeing me staying here again when I visit my son! Thanks Dawn

SherryAugust 2016

This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was a very good one. The historical area was lovely, the bungalow was vey cute, and moreover I felt safe while traveling alone. For a stranger coming into her home, Ms. Dawn was very friendly and welcoming. The house was very clean, and the room was big, private and felt comfortable. If you're looking for a charming and relaxing place to stay, with a super sweet host then this cute artistic bungalow is the perfect place.

LeeJune 2016

Great Artsy retreat, slept like babies. Super host and interesting art collection of objects that expand your horizons. Great and thoughtful coffee service.

judyNovember 2016

Dawn was a wonderful host, very accommodating to my last minute travel changes and was very friendly and personable. We never got a chance to meet in person (because I arrived so late) but she made every effort to make me feel at home — at one point I felt like I was having her jump through hoops... and she just kept making sure I was going to be comfortable when I finally did arrive. I would stay here again for sure.

EvaJune 2016

This was our first time using Airbnb and we absolutely loved it! Dawn's home was cozy, charming and refreshing. The space is great, the location is so close to everything we wanted to do (downtown, Wonder World, great food) and Dawn is a fabulous host (and decorator). We completely recommend snatching up this rental if you're looking to spend a couple of days in San Marcos.

AnnaSeptember 2016

Dawn was a fantastic, sweet host and the space was just as listed -- quiet, private, and artsy. I loved the decor and got some style ideas, which is always a plus. The surrounding area is full of greenery and is quite peaceful. Everything was clean and easy to live in. Highly recommended!

CorinneMay 2016

My girlfriend and I stayed at Dawn's place while passing through San Marcos and we both loved it! Dawn definitely has a gifting for decorating. The home was extremely welcoming and cozy, not to mention, it was in a great location. We stayed up and played some old games that she had in the house then woke up and drank some freshly ground coffee on the screened-in porch. Sadly, we only got to stay one night, but if we are ever back in San Marcos, I hope we can stay there again.
